This is a painting of a friend in our rural neighbourhood. Emily was the first to stop by to check on us and drop off food when C-19 hit and we have had many visits since. It is in her blood to be helpful, cheerful and sincere. The setting of this painting is in the winter when her hair was covered in icy crystals after skiing.

“Live in such harmony that others may take your lives for an example and may say one to another: Look how they live like two doves in one nest, in perfect love, affinity and union.” Ahmad Sohrab
This friend is a educator, gardener and grower of community. The child in the painting is a tender plant she has nurtured. Linda has cultivated many gardens including the Kids Can Grow program on Manitoulin.
Two young ladies, socially distanced at the time of painting, brought together on these small 8″x 8″panels. Raised with love, care and vigilance, well prepared to offer service to the world of humanity.
